NOT just for visual artists! This contest also welcomes submissions across ALL arts disciplines.  You do not have to be a member of MAEA or any other statewide arts education organization to submit examples of student artwork.

How it Works:

Student work is submitted by the teacher, compiled and submitted to each senator for the final selection process. 

K-12 teachers from any arts discipline take high-quality photos of a work or performance. Images are submitted to us, organized by district and sent to each of our 34 State Senators. They view work from their district and select one image to represent them. The chosen images are printed on 12"x16" paper and displayed in frames throughout the year at the Missouri Capitol to advocate legislator support for the arts. 

Both the selected student artist and their teacher are honored at the MAEA Legislative Day and MAAEs Fine Arts Education Day.
